To be a patriot we have to demonize a race of people? I didn't see that in my copy of the constitution.

In that case, I assume we have very different definitions of "patriot." After all, in the Revolutionary War, the initial patriots were the Tories who supported their leaders and were proud of their military forces (redcoats). The rebels, however, eventually won and were able to rewrite history to define themselves as patriots. If your definition of patriotism requires me to look for moral leadership to an adulterer and a perjurer, and to be proud of our ability to bomb farm tractors and schools, you can bet I don't fit your definition of a patriot.
